The Superfund Research Program (SRP) at Brown University, Reuse in RI: A State-Based Approach To Complex Exposures embodies the key elements that guide us — the focus is on mixed exposures, taking a state-based approach to environmental health research, technology development, and contaminated land re-use with Rhode Island as our laboratory. Together with our team members from the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM), we work to expand the understanding of the human health consequences and management of contaminated sites in Rhode Island and other post-industrial states.
